The National
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has
told the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, that President Muhammadu Buhari
has adopted the governorship candidate of the state, Senator Hope Uzodinma.

Oshiomhole
also accused Okorocha of frustrating the APC candidate, an action he described
as anti-party.

The former
Edo stated governor said that by denying Uzodinma use of the state’s stadium,
the governor has shown he is working against the party.

The former
labour leader, who spoke during the flag off of the APC campaign in Owerri, on
Friday, also accused the governor of neglecting the people of the state with
his style of governance.

He said,
“Let me appreciate the members of the National Working Committee for coming to
join the governorship candidate of our party, we approach with one simple
message.

“It is a
message of Hope, not a message of lamentation. I want you to listen because for
me campaign is not about entertainment.

“Today, we
have come to deliver the message of Hope although things have gone wrong in the
past.

“We have
come to return the government of Imo state to the great people of Imo state.

“We have
come to tell you that we have respect for you people. The next governor in the
person of Senator Hope Uzodimma will restore all that have been destroyed.

“Please Imo
people cool temper. Today is a day to pass a message of Hope. Today we desire
to talk to the young people especially to my fellow colleagues the civil
servants.

“The days
are gone for a governor who will look at people and say there is money to do
other things and not to pay civil servants.

“I want to
tell you that those governors that were given money including the governor of
Imo state that did not use it for that purpose will be retrieved.

“Buhari has
adopted Hope Uzodimma as the governor of Imo state. I want you to go and tell
people what I said.

“Nigeria
needs to produce political leaders that have political concentration.

“How will
you believe that an APC governor will lock the stadium against an APC
governorship candidate?

“It is the
tax payers’ money that is used to build that stadium and not his personal
money.”
